Welcome to Psst, where each month the Remodelista and Gardenista editors share an inside look at what we’ve read, seeing, wishing for, pinning, checking out, and otherwise caring lately. Without additional ado, a glimpse of what we have actually depended on in February:
Pictures by editors, other than where kept in mind.
Above:”I still have yet to view, but if the popularity of FX’s Romance is any sign, mid-to-late 1990s minimalism is swiftly occurring once again. That might describe why I’m unexpectedly drawn in to all things Philippe Starck, like this charmingly basic pair of canvas sunbeds from antiquarians Casey Smith.”– Nick Spain; photo by means of Casey Smith
Above:”These slipcast terracotta saltboxes with wind-fallen oak tops– which’celebrate the scars and stories of the trees from which they came,’according to maker Sophie Wilson of 1690 Ceramics– would fit right in the olde English kitchen of Hamnet. Have a look at Sophie’s homage to Agnes’s kitchen area here.”– Deborah Eydmann; photograph through 1690 Ceramics
Above:” These are my newest obsessions: Basalt birdbaths.Photographing nature. And t hese white flowers from
a pieris shrub that’s currently flowering in my garden.”– Kier Above:” The very best text I got this month? A picture of a mutual friend’s hand-drawn sketch of our Remodelista in Maine book cover after she read it. Love the idea of keeping a book journal like she does.”– Annie Above: “The very first outdoor picnic in forever at Great Swamp National Wildlife Sanctuary in New Jersey. It’s simply an hour from Brooklyn and provides boardwalk walkings and tranquil birding. I took a whole sourdough loaf because it hadn’t cooled yet, hot from the oven.”– Marie
Above:” A compelling reason to send more letters. These stamps commemorate the amazing work of folk artist and quilter Harriet Powers, who was born into slavery.”– Fan;
photograph through USPS Above:”I recently made a pilgrimage to see the trio of almost-secret establishments that now satellite Via Carota, chefs Jody Williams’ and Rita Sodi’s precious osteria in New York’s West Village. Throughout the street is Officina 1397, a tiny arrangements, antiques, and ‘uncommon finds’ store. On the corner is Bar Pisellino, which gets my choose the most beautiful downtown bar and sandwich shop. And next door is Officina del Bere, an old liquor shop that Jody and Rita took control of, restocked, and fully enhanced. On days that museums are closed or too crowded, I suggest going to these three instead.”– Margot
